Translated as - mind, spirit, energy, vital force or intention.  For many Aikidoist/Iaidoist, the primary goal of training in the arts is to learn how to "extend" Ki, or to learn how to control or redirect the Ki of others.  There are both "realist" and "anti-realist" interpretations of Ki.  The Ki realist takes Ki to be, literally, a kind of stuff, energy, or life force, which flows within the body.  Developing or increasing one's own Ki, according to the Ki realist, thus confers upon the martial artist greater power and control over one's own body and may also have the added benefits of improved health and longevity.  According to the Ki anti-realist, Ki is a concept which covers a wide range of psychophysical phenomena which does not denote any objectively existing "energy".  The Ki anti-realist believes that to extend Ki, all one needs is to adopt a certain kind of positive psychological disposition and to correlate the disposition with just the right combination of balance, relaxation, and judicious application of physical force.  Since the description of extended Ki is somewhat more manageable, the concept of Ki has a class of well-defined use, for the Ki anti-realist, but does not carry with it any ontological (a branch of metaphysics that studies the nature is being) commitment beyond the scope of mainstream scientific theories.
